STRATAFLEX
WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
Strataflex
is a high strength, self-bonding, elastomeric sheet applied
membrane. It is composed of a tough non-asbestos fiber sheet,
laminated to a polymer modified bitumen. Strataflex has
a unique "Stress Flex" fabric and provides a perfect
thin-bed or thick-bed application for the installation of
ceramic tile, marble, pavers, or brick. The elastomeric
base layer is a waterproofing membrane that is self-bonding,
self-healing and self-seaming.
Strataflex adheres
permanently to the substrate, forming a continuous, impervious
water barrier. The 40 mil thickness is calibrated at the
factory, eliminating thin spots common to liquid applied
systems. Strataflex stays flexible. It won't dry out or
crack under structural stress and is capable of withstanding
extreme climates.
Strataflex serves
as a waterproofing and anti-fracture membrane system, bridging
up to 3/8" horizontal expansion and contraction. Strataflex
provides crack protection for finished floors while waterproofing
underlying and surrounding building structures.
Recommended
Uses
Thin-bed installation
of ceramic tile products, marble, pavers, or brick requiring
integrated waterproofing such as: above grade food courts
- restaurants - balconies - decks - commercial kitchens
- showers - lavatories - parking decks - wood floors &
glass mesh mortar units - laundry rooms and other areas
needing above grade water protection. It can be applied
over: concrete - wood particle board - tile - VA tile -
metal - asbestos floor tile.
Strataflex is effective eliminating tile failures on structural
slabs under live or dead loads. Strataflex is also useful
for encapsulation of asbestos floor tile.

Form Specification
WATERPROOF MEMBRANE
shall be Strataflex thin-bed waterproof membrane consisting
of a 40 mil, self-adhering, two-component sheet membrane.
The reinforced fiber sheet is laminated to a polymer modified
elastomeric base sheet which is capable of extra heavy duty
service per ASTM C-627. Joints shall be a 2" overlapping
self-sealing design to form a watertight seal. (Patent Pending)
